Q65 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (18 Mar Shift 2) · Physics

A plane electromagnetic wave propagating along y-direction can have the following pair of electric field $(\vec{E})$ and magnetic field $(\vec{B})$ components.

A
$E_{y}, B_{y}$ or $E_{z}, B_{z}$
B
$E_{y}, B_{x}$ or $E_{x}, B_{y}$
Correct answer
C
$E_{x}, B_{z}$ or $E_{z}, B_{x}$
D
$E_{x}, B_{y}$ or $E_{y}, B_{x}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
